Manchester United stars snapped arriving for training during international break

The Red Devils’ numbers are severely depleted at the moment, with key men such as Romelu Lukaku, Paul Pogba, David De Gea and Jesse Lingard all away on international duty.

However, injured England defender Phil Jones was snapped driving in, as well as snubbed compatriots Chris Smalling and Ashley Young.

Spanish pair Juan Mata and Ander Herrera are rarely selected by their national team these days, and the duo were pictured arriving together, with Mata at the steering wheel.

New boy Diogo Dalot, who has been out injured for the opening weeks of the season, was also snapped - along with back-up goalkeeper Lee Grant and Antonio Valencia.

“Jose Mourinho will be hoping his side can kick on following the 2-0 away win over Burnley before the international break”

The Ecuadorean right-back wasn’t selected for his country’s friendlies with Jamaica and Guatemala as they only picked players based in the Americas.

Jose Mourinho will be hoping his side can kick on following the 2-0 away win over Burnley before the international break when they return to action against Watford away on Saturday evening.

United won their first game of the season against Leicester but a shock 3-2 loss at Brighton followed by an embarrassing 3-0 home defeat to Tottenham put them in real trouble.

The three points gained at Turf Moor eased the pressure on Mourinho but a failure to win against the high-flying Hornets will crank it right back up again.

Mourinho’s men face a fairly straight-forward run of fixtures this month - including Young Boys in the Champions League and Derby in the Carabao Cup - so the Portuguese boss will have no excuse if the club are still struggling come October.
